 | This contest was winding down towards a ninth successive Liverpool victory when, eight minutes from time, their substitute Luis García clashed with Hayden Mullins near the touchline and their resultant squabble prompted red cards for both. |
 | The referee Howard Webb later confirmed that both players were dismissed for violent conduct, the Spaniard having flung an elbow into Mullins' back and the West Ham midfielder reacting by raising his arms to push García to the ground. |
